speak your truth

As I enter into new relationships in my life, I remember what new love feels like and how we can get so swept up in the romance of it all, that when the painful pimple of reality pops up, it paralyzes us, frustrates us and makes us feel like this whole thing called love just isn't worth it. If you are anything like me, sometimes you just want to hide and run away never to have to deal with any of it ever again.

About 7 years ago, I woke up one Sunday around 2PM. I was exhausted, I couldn't breath very well and my entire body ached like I had been run over by an eight-wheeler at a Monster Truck Rally. I honestly thought I was dying (and the truth is, I was.)

Pisces energy offers us the emotional depth needed to tap into our psychic and intuitive powers. It reminds us that we are our own healers, gurus and magicians. Pisces energy asks that we allow ourselves to feel...and I mean FEEL the flow of emotion and energy that exists from moment to moment.

Pisces is a deeply emotive sign that knows that its sensitivity (unlike what we have been told by society) is actually the seed of its power.

Going to Jamaica was like stepping into a world I never really knew existed. I went in thinking I was going to teach yoga, play in the waves, eat fresh fruit, connect with a beautiful group of humans and get in touch with nature, but I left with something I could have never prepared myself for; a new level of trust and the ability to love the world around me even more deeply.

Intuition arrives when we choose to trust ourselves over and over again.Intuition is a gift and a power we all have, but sometimes it is so buried deep under layers of stress, frustration, day to day nonsense, that we don't feel we have any inner power, light and compass at all. Your intuition is your guidance system.

I've been having more conversations than ever before about BEING ANGRY. It turns out that so many of us are experiencing a sweeping wildfire of volcanic frustrations, annoyances, and overall I-have-had-enough-of-this-crap-political-done-ness (raise your hand if you know what I am talking about. Oh, it's everyone!? Okay. Great!)

There are times in our lives when we feel that something is just a little off or out of balance. Maybe we know e x a c t l y what the 'issue' is and we confront it head on, making changes where necessary and shifting what needs to be shifted. Other times, however, we know exactly what the issue is, yet...we continue to sit in it. We wade in the discomfort, the control, and sometimes the addiction to safety that is hurting our hearts.

Have you ever been pushing your hardest in a Spin, Zumba, Power Yoga, Barre, Boxing, or Strength Class and heard the instructor scream fervidly from the top of their lungs, “SUMMER IS COMING EVERYONE! NOW LET’S GET THAT BIKINI BODY!”
